Warzone Season 4 Download Size

At the moment, we only really know how big the Warzone Season 4 update is going to be. This isn't a reflection of what's going to be included in the Warzone Season 4 Patch Notes, but it's worth knowing all the same.

If you're playing on PC, you'll need around 28GB additional space for the "patch copying process", however, this will not be used once the download is complete.

  • PlayStation 5: 11 GB
  • PlayStation 4: 11 GB
  • Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S: 11.2 GB
  • Xbox One: 11.2 GB
  • PC: 12.3 GB (Warzone Only) / 13.5 GB (Warzone and Modern Warfare)

In addition to this, the new High-Res Texture Pack will be available on June 22nd. This doesn't look like it is available on PC at the moment.

  • PlayStation 5: 7.6 GB
  • PlayStation 4: 7.6 GB
  • Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S: 7.2 GB
  • Xbox One: 7.2 GB

You can find out more about the copying process Warzone and Modern Warfare utilise on consoles here.

No Full Patch Notes Yet?

At the moment, Raven Software hasn't shared anything that you could really call "Patch Notes" for Warzone and Season 4. We've got a great look at some of the content that's coming, with the Season 4 content roadmap outlining the new weapons and Operators that are coming.

However, this isn't exactly a Patch Notes and we don't know anything to do with any weapon balancing changes or bug fixes.

We're expecting to see more soon though, as we're not too far away from the release of Call of Duty Season 4. Raven Software always seem to be the last to update their player-base when it comes to these things...

Season 4 Release Date

Warzone is going to be getting the Season 4 content update at the same time as Black Ops Cold War, as with previous seasons. This means it's all due to go down on June 17th.

We don't know a specific time yet, but we could see the new content go live as early as 00:00 PST / 03:00 EST / 08:00 BST ahead of the "official" start of the season at around 10:00 PST / 13:00 EST / 18:00 BST.

We should hear more from Raven Software soon about the specifics, including pre-loading information, but for now, this is our best guess.
